    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_Point_Nuclear...

    Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear and gas-fired power plant located on a 3,300-acre (1,300 ha) site two miles east of Homestead, Florida, United States, next to Biscayne National Park located about 25 miles (40 km) south of Miami, Florida near the southernmost edge of Miami-Dade County.

  3. Crystal River Energy Complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_River_Energy_Complex

    The Crystal River Energy Complex consists of seven power-generating plants on a 4,700-acre (1,900 ha) site near the mouth of the Crystal River in Citrus County, Florida. Crystal River 1, 2, 4, and 5 are fossil fuel power plants. Crystal River 3 was previously the sole nuclear power plant on the site (1977-2013). The Crystal River Combined Cycle ...

  4. Spent nuclear fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spent_nuclear_fuel

    Spent nuclear fuel, occasionally called used nuclear fuel, is nuclear fuel that has been irradiated in a nuclear reactor (usually at a nuclear power plant). It is no longer useful in sustaining a nuclear reaction in an ordinary thermal reactor and, depending on its point along the nuclear fuel cycle , it will have different isotopic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NextEra_Energy_Resources

    NEER is responsible for all nuclear unit operations and the ultimate decommissioning of the nuclear units, and the nuclear sites use both on-site spent fuel pools and dry cask storage to store spent nuclear fuel generated by the facilities. [1] The NEER nuclear power plants in operation are listed below:

  7. Levy County Nuclear Power Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levy_County_Nuclear_Power...

    The Levy County Nuclear Power Plant was the umbrella term for a proposed nuclear power plant in Levy County, Florida. In 2006, Progress Energy Florida (PEF) announced the selection of 5,100 acres (2,100 ha) in southern Levy County for the potential construction of new nuclear reactors .

  8. High-level waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_waste

    High-level waste is the highly radioactive waste material resulting from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, including liquid waste produced directly in reprocessing and any solid material derived from such liquid waste that contains fission products in sufficient concentrations; and other highly radioactive material that is determined, consistent with existing law, to require permanent ...

  9. Long-lived fission product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-lived_fission_product

    The high short-term radioactivity of spent nuclear fuel is primarily from fission products with short half-life.The radioactivity in the fission product mixture is mostly due to short-lived isotopes such as 131 I and 140 Ba, after about four months 141 Ce, 95 Zr/ 95 Nb and 89 Sr constitute the largest contributors, while after about two or three years the largest share is taken by 144 Ce/ 144 ...
